Good idea Ed.

Porn is terrible for the mind. 

I will also limit my drinking to the weekend.

I just had a beer at dinner. Dry January starts after I go back to work

I read about a concept called "damp January," where you still drink, but drink less.  I've already cut back some, but I'm thinking of doing a hard stop on weekdays, and limiting weekend drinks to wine or liquor with mixers (I like my old fashioneds, manhattans, negronis, straight bourbon, and end up drinking them too fast).   

First order of business:  is Sunday night a weekend or weekday?  And does that change if you are retired?  

I was totally prepared to not drink, but my wife said she was going to have wine.  She's not working tomorrow so... it qualifies as an extended weekend, and in general any night my wife drinks, I'm going to drink.  If I didn't, she'd think my cancer moved to my brain.   

Just two glasses of wine tho.

Cheers and I'm having a few  N/A's watching the Sunday night game.

I'm pretty happy with my "damp" January so far.  Drank a little Friday thru tonight, but not too much, and didn't drink since the previous Saturday.  That's my goal: to not drink during the week, and not drink too much when I do.

I've been doing mocktails during the week -- specifically, tonic water with lime and some bitters.  Tastes a hella lot like a gin and tonic, without the gin.  

We make tonic by adding a little Sodastream diet tonic syrup to Pelligrino, tastes just like tonic.  https://www.amazon.com/SodaStream-Diet-Tonic-440ml-4-Pack/dp/B01FUIEXJA/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1G2P3G82CBGVA&keywords=sodastream%2Bdiet%2Btonic%2Bsyrup&qid=1674443566&sprefix=sodastream%2Bdiet%2Btonic%2Bsyrup%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-2&th=1
